Emily Brontë
Emily Brontë born, 30 July, 1818 in Thorton The fifth child of Partick and Maria Brontë
Sisters: Maria (1813) Elizabeth (1815) Charlotte (1816) Anne (1820) Brother: Branwell (1817)
Background
Her mother died of cancer when she was three years old. She had a sad childhood because she and her sisters were sent to Cowan Bridge school. Where Emily witnessed the humiliation and punishments. Maria contracted typhoid fever until finally she was sent home to die. A few months later she felt ill and was sent home to die. She was seriously affected by the death of her mother and sisters. Patrick Brontë gave the children a set of wooden soldiers about which they begin telling and writing stories. They invented a far away land called Angria with palm trees, trees, and warm ocean breezes where they could control everything including who lived and who died. They wrote elaborate plots, produced detailed illustrations, and then acted out in the battles and loving reunions. The four siblings made up a world named Angria. Emily separated from Angria. Emily made her own world called Gondal and her sister Anne got involved on it to.
Influences
Even if Anne would become disenchanted by Gondal and Charlotte and Branwell would outgrow Angria Emily never left Gondal. She continued to write poems about Gonadal for the rest of her life, and her novel Wuthering Heights would deepen and expand themes first explored in Gondal. Emily felt at home in her imaginary world of Gondal and would feel that way for the rest of her life.
Writing Style
She used a lot of slang in her writing. Since she had a very sad childhood she felt that in her writing it expressed her feelings toward the book. The book talks about a guy who was an orphan and there was a lot of strong language.
